How to grow oleander
Nerium oleander
When to plant oleander
Set oleander out after the last spring frost. It is intolerant of temperatures at or below 32 F, so in zones colder than 8a grow it in a container moved indoors for winter; prune frost-damaged branches once winter passes.
Oleander is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
